The Limassol derby (Greek: Ντέρμπι Λεμεσού) refers to Limassol's local derby, football matches played between any two of AEL, Apollon and Aris, all played at Alphamega Stadium. It is widely regarded as one of the fiercest football rivalries in Cyprus due to continuous fights and riots amongst the teams' fans.

The main derby is between Apollon and AEL, due to the large number of supporters the clubs have, the titles that both clubs have won in the past, and the historical rivalry between the two clubs.

The rivalry is most intense in matches involving AEL and Apollon as they historically play in the same division. The rivalry as a whole, however, had formed mostly due to all teams sharing the same home stadium, although recent league competitiveness also played an important role in its formation.
